Outrage in J&K Assembly Over Police Brutality on Women Protesters Demanding Justice for Kulgam Deaths
Srinagar (The Uttam Hindu) : The Jammu and Kashmir Assembly erupted in outrage today as lawmakers condemned the police brutality on women protesters demanding justice for the recent Kulgam deaths. A disturbing video showing police personnel using excessive force against the women protesters sparked widespread anger and calls for accountability.
The controversy began when a group of women protesters gathered in Kulgam, a district in south Kashmir, to demand justice for the families of the victims killed in a recent encounter between security forces and militants. However, the peaceful protest turned violent when police personnel allegedly used batons and tear gas to disperse the crowd.
A video of the incident, which has gone viral on social media, shows police personnel beating and dragging women protesters, sparking widespread outrage and condemnation. The video has been widely shared, with many calling for action against the police personnel involved.

"This is unacceptable and inhumane," said National Conference leader Ali Muhammad Sagar. "The police have crossed all limits, and we demand that the government take immediate action against those responsible."
The opposition parties, including the National Conference and the Congress, staged a walkout from the Assembly, demanding a statement from the government on the incident. "The government needs to come clean on this issue and take action against the guilty police personnel," said Congress leader Nawang Rigzin Jora. The Jammu and Kashmir government has ordered an inquiry into the incident and assured that action will be taken against the police personnel found guilty. "We will not tolerate any kind of human rights violations, and we will take strict action against those responsible," said J&K Minister for Home, Sajad Gani Lone.
The incident has sparked widespread outrage across the valley, with many taking to social media to express their anger and demand justice for the victims. The incident has also raised questions about the use of excessive force by security personnel in the valley and the need for greater accountability. As the controversy continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the police brutality on women protesters demanding justice for the Kulgam deaths has sparked a firestorm of outrage, and the government will be under pressure to take swift and decisive action against those responsible.
